  • Ozdemir, Abdil; Keskin, Can Serkan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    An important application of clay is as a solid adsorbent for industrial dyes. The aim of the present work was to carry out an experimental-theoretical study of the adsorptionof dye mixtures, namely malachite green (MG) and ...
  • Szabo, Tamas; Wang, Jun; Volodin, Alexander; Van Haesendonck, Chris; Dekany, Imre; Schoonheydt, Robert A. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The sizes and shapes of single clay mineral layers are difficult to determine though they are important parameters which determine the final properties of clay polymer nanocomposites and of ultrathin clay mineral films. ...
  • Cui, Haojie; Qiu, Guohong; Feng, Xionghan; Tan, Wenfeng; Liu, Fan (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Todorokite is a common manganese oxide mineral, with a tunnel structure, found in Earth surface environments, and is easily synthesized from layered birnessite. The aim of the current study was to prepare birnessites with ...
  • Giorgetti, Giovanna; Monecke, Thomas; Kleeberg, Reinhard; Hannington, Mark D. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Abstract—The conversion of volcanic glass to secondary alteration products is one of the most common mineralogical transformations during low-temperature hydrothermal alteration of submarine basalts. To better understand ...
  • Cuadros, Javier; Nieto, Fernando; Wing-dudek, Teresa (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The mechanism for the kaolinization of smectite is extremely complex. The purpose of this study was to explore this mechanism by providing more microscopic information about kaolinite-smectite (K-S) intermediate phases. ...
  • Landers, Matthew; Gilkes, Robert J.; Wells, Martin A. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Abstract—A method for extracting Ni and other metals from lateritic ores by means of shock heating has been investigated. Shock heating releases some of the metal from its goethitic host. Even though the transformation of ...
  • Merola, Rose B.; Mcguire, Molly M. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    Optical absorption spectroscopy has the potential to uncover many characteristics ofFebearing, redox-active smectites that have heretofore been hidden. The purpose of this study was to exploit this technique to reveal the ...
  • Li, Yanfeng; Sun, Dewen; Pan, Xiaobing; Zhang, Bo (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The preparation and characterization of intercalated kaolinite is important for industries such as those using nanocomposites, but the number of compounds that can be intercalated into these clay minerals is rather limited. ...
  • Arslan, Volkan; Bayat, Oktay (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The use of microorganisms to remove Fe (oxyhydr)oxides from kaolins has the potential to be an effective method for upgrading the whiteness and brightness, and therefore the commercial value, of the kaolin. The purpose of ...
  • Zhang, G.Y.; Hu, Y.F.; Xu, R.K.; Dynes, J.J.; Blyth, R.I.R.; Kozak, L. M.; Huang, P. M. (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The chemistry of Al transformation has been well documented, though little is known about the mechanisms of structural perturbation of Al precipitates by carbonates at a molecular level. The purpose of the present study ...
  • Komadel, Dr. Peter (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    It was a great honor for meto introducePro fessor Joseph W. Stucki from the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the 2009 Recipient of The Marilyn ...
  • Unknown author (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The following are some papers that have been accepted for publication in future issues of Clays and Clay Minerals.
  • Unknown author (The Clay Minerals Society, 2009)
    The following are gratefully thanked for the time and effort they have given to providing reviews of manuscripts submitted for publication in the last 12 months.
  • Tarlan-yel, Esra; Onen, Vildan (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The chemical and biological methods employed to date in the removal of free cyanide (CN-) and metal-cyanide complexes from aqueous fluids have proved expensive and problematic. A simpler and more economical approach was ...
  • Arslan, Mehmet; Abdioglu, Emel; Kadir, Selahattin (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Widespread alteration in the Upper Cretaceous pyroclastic units of the Tirebolu (Giresun) area, NE Turkey, has resulted in significant occurrences of bentonite with economic potential. No detailed geological, mineralogical, ...

  • Garcia-romero, E.; Suarez, M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    Many studies of the chemical composition of sepiolite and palygorskite have been carried out using analytical electron microscopy (AEM). According to the literature, a compositional gap exists between sepiolites and ...
  • Cruz, Maria Dolores Ruiz; Ruiz, Maria Dolores Rodriguez; De Galdeano, Carlos Sanz (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural and chemical modifications of phyllosilicates that occur under natural conditions, using the progressive deformation of chlorite (sudoite) present in quartz-rich ...
  • Kaufhold, S.; Dohrmann, R.; Klinkenberg, M. (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    The present study compares the water-vapor adsorption capacity of bentonites (natural cation population) with the Enslin-Neff method. Water-vapor adsorption at 50% r.h. (relative humidity) or 70% r.h. is known to depend ...
  • Ryu, Kyoung-won; Jang, Young-nam; Chae, Soo-chun (The Clay Minerals SocietyThe Clay Minerals Society, 2010)
    In spite of many studies of kaolinite synthesis, questions remain as to the transformation of gel into kaolinite, the kinetics of the reaction, and the influence of solution chemistry. The purpose of the present study was ...
